on TOP of that rib and back to the rib right before the rim. Counting from the bottom of the handle (wide rib) you can see that my first turn back was on rib no. On the basket above I'm beginning to square up my corners.Then your slate is clean and you can start filling with turn backs again. Unless you've gone past it with a single weave to the rim. Never turn twice on any ONE SINGLE RIB.Turn to the INSIDE of the basket not the outside.Make sure your turn backs are on TOP of a rib NOT under a rib.Turn backs are a continuous filling method through out the rest of the basket until both sides meet the stripe of weaving down the center of the basket.Why use turn backs? Turn backs enable you to fill in an area and not leave holes in the basket when you do so.In order to "square" up the corners of the weave to lengthen this circle into a rectangle a technique called turn backs is used.If you would continue to weave in this manner (rim to rim) the top would meet up with the weave from the other side and you would end up with an hour glass of open weave on the sides of the basket. Looking at the sides of the basket you'll see that you have a half circle of weaving.Failure to do so makes for a distorted shape in the basket. If you do one inch of weave on one side of the basket, stop, and do the same amount of work on the other side. REMEMBER: to keep the weave even on your basket as you work on it. If they need that much adjustment replace the entire rib. Make sure you don't pull them out of the weave of the basket.
